i dont know which to use, i have a two handed sword doing very good damage IMO, and the best one handed sword i seem to be able to buy does about half the damage the twohanded, but in exchange i would be able to use a really cool shield i found at a trader at the dwarfs, with 180 defence and +reallymuch to constitution... well which is better, damage or protection?

Depends on how much you like charms <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - if a shield gives you additional abilities and has charm slots, I'll take this.
If you prefer large damage = take the 2-hander.

hehe nevermind, i just solved the black market quest and got this sword called "Singing Sword" and it does about the same damage as my 2hander and from the looks of it (i need one more levelup so i can add agility to use it) its one handed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

The Singing blade is a 2-hander IIRC.

damn you if you are correct <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

IIRC = If I remember correctly
Kiya

damnit you were correct, it is two handed, but the sword still kicks ass... another quick question, is the holy sword one or two handed? and is it good? (i mean after the ritual is complete and the other two holy items are sacrificed)

Yep, Holy Sword is a 1-hander. It can be good if you're patient enough to reload <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

you know: all stats are random

aah its one of those random weapons

All weapons/items etc are random - you can get very good ones at your first try or junk <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I don't know how many crashes I produced in stubbornly wanting certain abilities <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />. If your minimap turns a pretty light blue = exit the game, crash will come (after 20-30x, yes I'm persistant). Then just start again...

For me, it's when the Alt key doesn't work anymore and you start to see incorrect animations for things, especially if they aren't temporary. It's just memory leakage. ONly way to fix is a cold boot.
